[Jaskier doesn't quite flinch, but he does frown at her a bit.] Ouch. Excuse me for stepping on a toe.
[She has a point, of course, but it does seem to be that he's not really met any who did not have magic before, and now they've been gifted (or cursed?) with it. It would be rather nice to share the experience, is all.
He sighs, settling his head back. Great. Now he's stuck with two of them. All sharp, pointed edges and cold glares when they're upset about something. Two peas in a pod. It's becoming more and more true as he notices things, isn't it?]
I hate to surprise you, but neither am I a sorceress. [His little bird flits back to him, landing on his head, as if unsettled by the tone in Ciri's voice as well -- or the candle that flickers to life as Geralt Signs at it.] Once we're all a bit less prickly, perhaps I can attempt to teach you a bit of something. Or we can all sit here and continually get drunk. Both options are rather enticing.
